First of all I used the search function so those nazi's who feel the urge to point out the Kennel Club thread can **** off.

Now where was I?

I'm taking my Lab cross camping next month. He'll be approx 9 months old so won't be carrying his own bergan yet.

Any Arrsers with experience of sharing a basha with their mutt? Do I need to get him a doss bag? Should I keep him in the tent or the admin area? (No danger of him running off, the shithouse is scared of carrier bags). Are they any good at harbour routine (Setting up track plan etc?)

I know this is a shit thread but I'd rather not kill him on our first camping trip.

I camp in a family tent nowadays with the kids. The dog kips in a travel pod. I am able to close off our sleeping area from the bit of the tent with the mutt in. Which is just as well or I'd wake up with a cold wet nose in my fizzog at regular intervals. Other than that, nowt to report. We all eat outside the tent, so does the dog, and I have one of those long leashes attached to a ground spike to anchor her to when we are hanging around the tent.

Cheers for the input mate. Dog pod sounds a bit bulky for my day sack though. I was thinking of letting him have a blanket... and a small one too.

I often take the dog with me camping. The combo of a pop-up tent, an inflatable mattress and a good doss bag for me and a 15 quid Tescos doss bag for the dog works very well.
